Matt Cassel traded to the Chiefs for 2nd round draft pick

2nd round pick (34 overall) this year to New England for Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel.

I am officially dissapointed as a Pats fan. Wanted that #3 pick, then trade it for multiple picks. Theres no way they should be giving up Cassel and Vrabel for 1 pick!!!. The only way Im seeing this as a good thing is if they go out and sign Ray Lewis.

As a die hard chiefs fan, I can honestly say I went nuts when I heard about this deal. I figured we would have to give up our first and our fourth. I guess when your gm is actually a friendly guy and not a jerk like Peterson, good things happen

According to John Clayton, Denver offered the 12th overall pick in the draft for Cassel. It was some type of three way thing with the bucs, that would have sent Jay Cutler to Tampa. Hard to believe, but multiple sources have confirmed that was offered.

Yeah I remember reading that. That is what leads me to my question, why would the patriots take a 2nd round pick instead of the 12th overall in the 1st round? Doesn't make any sense.
